Description

(See also http://www.Kresy-Siberia.org) The "Kresy-Siberia Group" brings into contact people from countries around the world with a special interest in the fate of over one million Polish citizens of various faiths and ethnicities (Polish, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Catholic, Orthodox, Jewish, etc.) arrested or deported from eastern Poland (Kresy) to special labour camps in Siberia, Kazakhstan and Soviet Asia. The circumstances of their odyssey and the tragic history of the Polish citizens under Soviet occupation during WW2 was hushed up by the Allies during the war to protect the reputation of the Soviet Union, an important ally fighting the Nazis.

Sixty years later the survivors have aged and many have died. With this list we hope to bring together surviving deportees and their descendants to remember, learn, discover and spread the word of their ordeal to the world and to future generations.

If this list group can play even a small role in that effort, it will have been an important achievement.

"Niektorzy w naszej grupie mowia i po polsku i po angielsku, wiec prosze sie nie krepowac pisac po Polsku i przetlumaczymy tresc Waszego pisma. Niestety, nie stac nam na przetlumaczeniu wszystkich pism angielskich na polski, ale zaprasamy Wam sobie przetlumaczyc poprzez strony http://www.google.pl/language_tools?hl=pl".
